Staying at home a choice??
| Sun, 04-29-2007 - 6:46am |
The author of this article thinks most mothers go to work because they want to, not because they have to.
"Most parents from two-parent families today do have a choice when it comes to parental care. They can try and talk themselves into believing they don't, but it really boils down to priorities."

Does anyone (other than her) really believe this? I don't know of anyone among my friends who works who wouldn't rather be staying at home with their children. But they don't have the choice!

I don't mind the DOING..it's the folding and putting away I hate! LOL
With just me and Liza though I find I do a few small loads throughout the week, nothing too strenuous. She wears uniforms which cuts down on the laundry b/c thos jumpers can usually go a day or two without needing to be washed (her gym uniform is another story ugh!) but I swear Catholic School jumpers are made from some kind of indistructable steel wool or something...
Yes. We. Did.

hey me too...doesn't mean I LIKE It... LOL.
I'm great about picking up clutter which I hate (and which my ex husband was the KING of) and I'm pretty good about laundry but I am not that great at the other stuff. can't tell the last time I dusted (Kelly and Liza actuallyw rote "we love mommy' in the dust on my tv in my bedroom) I vaccum sporadically adn give counters and things a good wipe down but the other stuff just floats on by.... and we defintiely dont' have a "sheet changing day" LOL. We do have "don't make your bed Tuesdays!' though -- this was something my mom did with me -- on Tuesdays (dont' ask me why we picked Tuesday) I got to skip making my bed... so Liza and I do that now every Tuesday as well...
It's a good thing she's getting a stepmother who's good at this domestic stuff cuz she's not gonna learn it from me! LOL
Yes. We. Did.
